Illustration and Icon Design
Shroomhunt is a geocache game in Saint Louis that I worked on during a game jam at Simutronics. I mainly worked on pixel art of mushrooms and the forests and swamps they grow in.
Illustration and Card Design
Created as lead artist for the board game Fading Realms.
Character Token Painting
Personal commissions for game pieces painted as game pieces for TTRPGs
Map Design
I create Hex-maps, Battle-maps, and Illustrated maps for custom TTRPG campaigns. My favorite part is making a version with all of the deadly traps.
Card and Icon Illustration
Gamestormers is a colorful board game about making games. Using fantasy, sci fi, steampunk, and pirates, players build a fantastical story. You know the game is good when it has dragon pirates.
Character Design and Paint
This is a personal project to create sea serpents and dragons native to Missouri. The Missouri river is so opaque, they might as well be dwelling in the deeps.
Plein Air Painting
I paint local landscapes for juried art shows and plein air competitions in Saint Louis. This isn't technically a game project, unless you consider life to be one big, buggy MMORPG.
